3rd person POV

A man wearing a hood crouched down at the ground, and looked, as if searching for something, or in his case, someone. He closed his eyes for a few seconds, then stood up, his eyes filled with joy, the dark stars and galaxies inside churning with emotions. He ran towards the destruction ahead, his figure barely a blur as he jogged towards the stonehedged like stone in the middle of the chaos. He reached it, and reached out a shaking hand towards the stone, as if he was afraid of touching it.

"Finally, my son, after so long of searching, I finally found you! You never know how long I had been searching for you... now you appear in front of me as a stone. I'm impressed though, by taking out the threats along with you, you stopped yet another war. My son, you have a long journey, may you live it with a purpose in life." He said, smiling. He recovered, and chanted something in an foreign language. The stone broke away, revealing who is inside....

Percy's POV

I woke up to blackness. All I remembered was that I sacrificed myself to save the world, and that I'm dead, or so I thought. I heard some muffled sounds, and thought that those belong to demigods who were from Camp Half-Blood, but, that voice simply continued, and chanted something I strangely understood, even though I did not learn it. "Rise, my hero, awake and be yourself. May you complete your journey and fulfill your purpose in life. Rise! From stone, return back to sender, may it preserve and retrieve back what rightfully belong in this realm!"

I suddenly felt my prison breaking away, dissolving into dust. I fell to the ground, feeling the sun on my skin for the first time in a long while. After so long, I barely knew how to walk. This was followed by me falling asleep, the last I saw was the man's face, smiling down at me...

I woke up in a place that was definitely not Earth. I groaned as I sat up. Seems that I had not fully recovered from that attack. I took a glance around, and nearly fell back down with shock. I was in a glass dome, allowing me too see outside, not that out there has much too see, as I am in outer space. Wow, just how did I end up here?

The door to the dome suddenly opened, and the man who saved me walked through it. "Ah, welcome to the world of living!" He laughed, opening his arms wide. I shifted myself so that I'm sitting on the bed, looking at him. He was not that impressive, what was the most interesting feature of him was the eyes. They are black, swirling with galaxies and stars, and seems to bore into my soul, looking at all my secrets. Stunned by the intensity of the gaze, I averted my eyes, looking down at the bed. Surprisingly, the man laughed, "You are strong, I give you that. Not many can look away from my eyes once they capture someone's attention. How was the bow I gave you?"

Wait a moment, that man was Chaos? He certainly did not look like the person who created everything. As if he could read my mind, the man who I identified as Chaos laughed again, "Yes, I am Chaos, and actually I don't appear like this. This is one of the many forms I can take. I did not show you my real form as you will not understand it. I will explain it later. Right now, I am suppressing my power, so you don't vaporize on the spot. My power here is less than 1%. And to answer your question, yes, I can read minds." seriously? That is creepy. And less than 1% of his power? That...is insane. I can feel the power radiating off him even from where I stood. But why did he rescue me? "That, may I add, is because you, are my son, Percy." Came the mind-bogging reply. I spoke at last to him. "How is that possible? I am the son of Poseidon, not son of you. How can I be both, unless....wait, are you gay?" I suddenly thought of that, and accidentally spoke it aloud. Oops. Chaos was laughing so bad he was trying to catch his breath.

"What a weird thought you have there. Like I said, you are my son, and definitely my son, not Poseidon's. I created you, but you were in danger at that time, so I had to send you to somewhere else, forcing to permanently lock your powers, so that only I can unlock it when the time comes. It seems that now, it is the time. After 4 and half billion years, I finally found you!" Chaos replied. I existed that long? Wow...I don't feel that old. "That is because you are not. Over the years, my son had died and re-birthed again and again, to live in the greatest heroes Earth had in Greek Mythology. I don't know how you did that, but it was a great way to be immortal, keep up with civilization and to blend in too, without disturbing the natural cycle of life and death." Chaos once again stated as he read my mind. "Can you still see me as your son? Not to be rude, but by your way of describing, your son have died and re-birthed countless times. How do you know I am your son?" Chaos chuckled. "Originally you were called Περασεύς the 'Απολλύων, in Greek. One of the heroes which my son chose is Perseus, your namesake. You are the latest hero which my son chose. The words I described you just now? That was Perseus, the destroyer. You are technically my true son, because this time he mixed your blood with his, becoming one with you. You are him, and he is you."

My mind reeled with this information as I tried to process the possibility of someone stuck in my head. I tentatively reached out my mind inside of me, and I softly called out, in which I heard a reply. "Hello, finally, you know I am here. Surprise!" I passed out shortly, the shock finally overloading my brain. "Well well, you certainly did him good." I heard Chaos groan in my head, " Wasn't my fault, I just dealt the final blow." mumbled the person in my head innocently.
